Ghislaine Maxwell is one of most despicable people on the planet in addition to being 1 of the most vile sex traffickers ever. The fact that she was moved to a country club prison, is getting room service meals & other special perks is proof positive Trump is guilty of something & she knows it.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

You can’t win elections by losing negotiations.
On Tuesday voters showed the fuck up in an off year, after a brutal year fighting prevent the worst abuses of power.
And Dems in Congress take that gift, that sacrifice, and are poised to secure zero policy wins based on it.
Feckless losers.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Come on! We know members of the Senate are “free agents,” but the fact is Schumer didn’t hold his caucus together & isn’t doing his job as Leader
We’re supposed to believe it’s a coincidence that none of the Dems who voted yes on the CR have anything to lose in 2026?

Senator Mark Kelly voted for a number of Trumps awful confirmations.
Seems like the Democrats take turns pretending to care about our issues and then take turns sabotaging any actual progress.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
